22. A Single Thread by Tracy Chevalier
Another story about the choices women have to make & society’s expectations. Set post WW1 so a different time but still resonates

Not at all the story I was expecting! About whether women can have it all & the choices that have to be made. A good read!

16. Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
Having loved the writing in Gentleman in Moscow, I wanted to read another by Towles. This did not disappoint. Shows how you can assume so much about a person & be completely wrong. And how seemingly small decisions can change a life course

14. The Women by Kristin Hannah
Hard-hitting novel about the American women in the Vietnam war, the atrocities that took place & the PTSD suffered by many. Had me crying on the Tube more than once.

11. The Authority Gap by Mary Ann Sieghart.
Non-fiction this time & a book that everyone should read. At times, left me angry & upset with what some women have gone through. Ends on very practical ways to narrow the gap
